Abstract:

In this paper, the discovery, existing forms and important physiological functions of the element of Selenium (Se) are introduced. The Se applications in bio-chemistry studies are highlighted, which include the detection of living species by Se-containing fluorescent probes, and biomacromolecule studies by Se-containing chemical probes.

Key words: Selenium, Se-containing fluorescence probe, Se-containing chemical probe
